Italian Government Hopes For Stability

By PHIL NEWSOM EPI Foreign News Analyst Italy’s new center-left government is making its bow this week. ' L, It is a hybrid not totally satisfactory to anyone, the result 6t a marriage of former political enemies with beliefs widely" divergent on subjects ranging from wage and price control to NATO. But, contrarily, its planners hope it will provide a stability generally lacking in 24 previous Italian governments. At its head is 47-year-old Christian Democrat Aldo Moro who as his party's secretary has been more accustomed to act as king-maker behind the scenes. At Moro’s side as vice premier is 72-year-old Socialist Pietro Nenni, most of whose stormy career has been spent in opposition, much of it in alliance with the Communists. Their two parties, in coalition with the smaller Social Demoocrats and Republicans, make up the new government. It is a government with a comfortable majority in Italy’s 630-member chamber of deputies. But it is also a government of many compromises and its existence will depend on the shaky loyalities of the extreme right within the Christian Democrats and of the extreme left within Nenni’s badly split Socialists. s Wins Party Vote * Nenni won approval of participation in the new government by a vote of 59-40 within the party central committee. But his margin of victory depended on a man who will not even participate. He is the party’s No. 2 leader Riccardo Lombardi, a Marxist proponent of nationalization and neutrality who could at any time upset the balance by throwing his 16 central committee votes to the pro-Cqmmunists Lombardi refused a post in the new regime. The compromises through which the new government was formed themselves make up a hodge podge. The Socialists gave lukewarm

agreement to Italy’s continued membership in NATO and “the obligations that derive therefrom.” They also agreed to permit the government to enter into negotiations for participation in the U. Ss-proposed multi-na-tion nuclear naval force for NATO. Contains Escape Clause But an “escape clause” also permits them to oppose such a force when or if it should come up for parliamentary debate. On economic the Christian gave ground, agreeing to forego a wage or price freeze. The later measure is one strongly favored by the Christian Democratic right wing. All parties reportedly agreed on the urgent need to restore the confidence of businessmen, badly shaken by the nationalization of Italy’s electric industry. This will be one of the first issues to test the new government. Labor unions ips ide the stateowned railroads and other state employes are demanding wage increases estimated to cost $672 million per year. They could throw the country into a disastrous inflationary spiral, a situation which would fit exactly into Communist plans. The questions of internal stability and Italy's place in world affairs still lie ahead. Snow, Icy Roads Boost Traffic Toll By United Press International Snow and ice-covered highways contributed to three Indiana traffic deaths late Monday night and early today, pushing the toll for the year to at least 1,205, compared with 1,109 a year ago. Two men were killed on icy U.S. 20 at Pines, two miles west of Michigan City, before dawn when their car skidded into the pa‘h of a big truck. The dead were identified as Jeremiah Connell, 46, Grand Rapids, Mich., and Fred Friden, 60,

First Soldiers Are Pulled Out Os Viet Nam SAIGON, South Viet Nam (UPli—The United' States today began withdrawing its first troops from South Viet Nam since the Americans started their anti - Communist buildup here in- 1962. Three U.S. Air Force jets took off for Honolulu this afternoon with the first 220 American servicemen en route home. Within the next nine days similar flights wilto carry 1,000 men from South Viet Nam. A fourth Military Air Trans- - port Service C 135 four - engine jet transport was scheduled to leave here with another group of 74 men, but it was delayed at Kadena Air Base on Okinawa because of maintenance trouble. A U.S. military spokesman said it will leave here Wednesday. Air Force Capt. Jerry W. Lightner, 40, Dixon, 111., who spent nine months as a pilot in Vietnamese C 47 transport planes, was delighted to be heading back to his wife and six children. The 1 000 men due to leave here by the first of the year will not be replaced, thus reducing U.S. strength in South Viet Nam to about 15,500. The reduction was the result of the visit here in October of Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara and Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. They decided “the major part of the United States military task can be completed by the end of 1965” in South Viet Nam, a White House statement issued at the time said. They said that by the end of this year, the U.S. program for training the Vietnamese army in its war.against, the Communist guerrilas would have progressed to the point where the 1,000 men could be withdrawn. 2_...

Revised Salary Plan To Slate Employes INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)— Veteran state employes already at their salary ceilings can share in a scheduled merit pay hike under a revised salary plan announced today by Governor Welsh and State Budget Director Jack Booher. A number of state employes already had reached the maximum allocated for their salary bracket and therefore would not have shared in the previouslyannounced pay hike which goes into effect Jan. 1. Under the new plan, the ceiling was increased from S2O to SSO a month. Thus.oa state hospital attendant—the low man on the salary scale—who now is drawing a maximum of $245 a month could advance to a new maximum of $265 a month. At the top salary bracket for persons such as psychiatrists or major executives, the old ceiling of 1,425 a month becomes $1,475. Commissioner John Hatchett of the Indiana Department of Administration said that the revised plan will not mean any additional cost to the state but will enable the head of a department to give an increase to employes already at the top of their range. He said the merit increase, if granted by the department head, would have to come from funds" already allocated to him for his ’•payroll "by the 1963 ‘ Legislature. . . ‘ Hatchett said the exact amount of the funds available for pay increases during the next two years has not yet been determined. However, it has been estimated to range- between $6 and $8 million. Currently, Indiana has a S9O million a year payroll. The budget agency also approved formally a 10-cent hourly increase for all hourly - rated state highway workers which went into effect Monday. Hatchett had predicted earlier that the hike, which is expected to cost about $600,000 for the biennium, would be improved.

ORGANIZED (Continued from Page One) as the unemployment rate for Negroes is so much higher than the average.” <s At present the House Judiciary Committee’s far-ranging civil rights measure, which had the backing of President Kennedy, is stalled in the Southernled House Rules Committee, though efforts are being made to forte it out. Rejects Johnson’s Plea Chairman Howard W. Smith, D-Va:, of the rules committee has rejected Johnson’s plea for early action on the bill. He said Monday night, “I just don’t. think we ought to be acting on this bill in the present state of hysteria.’’ The President meets with King, head of the Southern Christian Leadersip -Conference, at 11 30 a.m., EST. During the first meeting of his busy day Monday, Johnson was urged by civil rights leader Whitney Young Jr., W'undertake a public works program and other "crash” efforts to ease Negro unemployment. Young is executive secretary of the National Urban League. Thus far Johnson has won the support of Young and Roy Wilkins, executive director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), who are two of the nation’s foremost civil rights advocates. The White House said the Governors Conference Executive Committee had asked for the meeting with Johnson. The committee met in Miami Monday, its first session since the conference last July. That conference almost broke up over New Cold Marks In Indiana Early Today By United Press International Temperatures dipped to new cold marks for the season in Indiana today and highways, streets and sidewalks were coated with the first snow and ice hazards. An overnight snow, even though quite light at most points, iced Hoosier roads and took a toll of at least three lives in traffic accidents blamed on slippery conditions. The mercury dipped to 14 at Lafayette, 16 at Indianapolis, 19 at Fort Wayne, 21 at South Bend and 29 at Evansville. The Lafayette and Indianapolis lows were season’s records for those cities. A three-inch snow was measured at South Bend, while elseyzhere" the'depth was only a trace. Further snow was ex- . pected—occasional light snow likely in the northern third today, \ tonight and Wednesday and accumulation of 1 to 2 inches in the centra) and southern * s More show was seen as possible in the .north again Thursday.
